Re: why?

In this document we have done nothing other than summarise the history of factual events.

However, your opinion that “the Arabs were fighting in the Yom Kippur war […] because they wanted to take their lands back” – in other words, attributing to the Egyptian and Syrian governments in 1973 the basic Israeli position of land-for-peace – is completely ahistorical. It is incompatible with, for instance, the Declaration of Khartoum (see Part 6) and with the entire conduct of Egyptian and Syrian military and foreign policy during the run-up to that war and long afterwards.
